Teach Babies Language
Is it a good idea to teach your child (who is just learning to talk) sign language?
My sister in law teaches my nephew (who just turned 1) sign language. He has no hearing problems whatsoever — she just taught him sign language so he can communicate since he’s too young to talk a lot. (he’s been “signing” since he was 10-11 months).
He knows, “bottle”, “hungry”, “milk”, “feed me”, “all done”, and a couple other words.
The only thing is — we do NOT know what all the signs are! so he’ll try and tell us something by “signing it” and we have no clue what he’s saying!
Do you think it’s good to teach a normal baby sign language? or should you just teach them words?
[my mother in law just signed him up for a sign language class as part of his birthday present]
I’m just curious if the sign language is a good thing? or if it’ll be confusing for him in the long run?
[I personally think he won't be so eager to learn to talk since he's already communicating through sign language]
what do you think???
I had to give this question a star as it is actually a truly interesting question which I have no idea really what I think about. I have an 8 month old son and haven’t even considered signing but i like the way someone called it ‘empowering’-perhaps it is. It’s nice to have some alternative questions in this section to the usual am i pregnant and is my baby hungry etc etc.
Teach Babies Language
I want to teach my baby sign language?
Is there anyone else doing it? My baby is 10 months this month and I would love to teach her to sign! I have just started my online research and have reserved some books at the library. please feel free to contact me if you have information on teaching babies to sign of if you have babies who do sign. We live in Ohio and would love to meet with parents and children who teach their babies sign language.
I use to know some sign myslef but have forgotten. my sister is hard of hearing and my cousin is deff. so sign could be a really good thing to get into. not to mention it’s just one more way I can connect with my baby!
Signing with my baby sisters have worked so well for both them and my family! It helped us figure out what they wanted/needed when they couldn’t express it in words. We most often times used the signs for “more,” “all done,” “boobies,” and “I love you.” My mother went to some baby signing classes, I think about one or two. We also used some signing DVDs from this website: http://www.signingtime.com/ (I’m pretty sure you can buy them anywhere.) It was a great experience and we still use signing even though my sisters are now 2 and 6! It is something they can hold onto and so can I.
